I don't know how the year is going to go for any of us, but you definitely have the far more talented team and I think you might not get a high enough pick for a good QB without trading up because of it.

Hypothetically, we get a top 3 pick and nab a QB and let Palmer go because of his contract, do you think your team would be more likely to sign him than draft a QB?

I don't know, I can't see you guys picking in the top 5 and I liked Stanzi (Hows he doing by the way?)._________________

I personally don't want Palmer largely because I think he's mostly washed up, and I simply don't want another UFA QB. I want us to draft and develop our guy in our system, with our players.

I have no idea even if we are at #1 if we'd draft a QB. I'd certainly hope so, but who knows.

I like Stanzi's potential, but he's yet to show much of anything other then some ability to make a little out of nothing with the 3rd team in pre-season. Our FO is apparently high on him, but he's currently 3rd string. At this point, I think he will most likely be a back-up for quite a while barring injury. Chances are he won't get a shot this year, and that'll be because we continue to languish with Cassel, or we will get a new FO, and I doubt they will put any faith in him going forward, outside of a back-up._________________

Seriously, we have not played horribly, except for the detail of turn overs. The seasson is very salvageable. Tampa Bay this week is winnable, even on the road. Then we get two weeks to set up the next set of games. Chargers and Steelers back to back is a bear, but the rest of the schedule is mild by NFL standards, and cupcake compared to what we just slogged through.

Mild schedule or not, this team has to cut down on turnovers and drastically or you might as well wish to get that 1st overall pick.

Wow, weren't YOU the guy saying he was just as good as Peton Manning ??

And now you're saying the Raiders will let him walk after ther season...great ROI there bro !!_________________

Huh? You can go through my post history, I don't think I've talked up any Oakland player besides DMC on this website. There was a gameday thread where I talked about not liking how the media said Denver was a surefire win against us (regardless of losing, I still don't think we couldn't have won) because I think Peyton's deep ball gets ugly, but I've always been against Carson signing with us and have been very vocal about not being a fan. I will defend that he's done his job this year, though.

I think you have me mixed with someone else or have misinterpreted something I've said.

That aside, I was just curious because if you guys don't get whatever QB's are 'studs' in the draft would you settle for a mid first pick that is most likely a reach or go Vet.

It appears you want to groom 'your guy', which I think is a good idea. I'd like to see you guys get a gunslinger like Bray, personally._________________
